'Ifto BOON THE TOWN

The San Francisco BsHeffa reads a
highly edyying lecture to those small
towns that are diligently stuying to
get Up aJboom. The article, which is
too lengthy for our space, might be
haeded "advice to Honolulu" The
chief factors in getting up "boom"
are put down; first. one or two good
hotels--the Hawaiian Hotel and the
Eagle House supply these desiderata
here's econd, good streets that will not
bog the people in mud during winter
and blind them with dust during sum
mcr-our good streets are scarce, but
the mud and dust, the one when it
does rain, the other when it does not,
are unlimited in sopply;--third, good
drainage and good water-the drainage
we have not, the good water we have
in plenty; fourth, good schools-in
this particular Honolulu is pretty well
fixed; fifth, business and solid indus
tries. people cannot live long by
swapping jack-knives. An idle popu-
lation, even if composed Of people who
can Afford to live in idleness, will not
make a prosperous community. A
thffvlng town must contain men who
create something, and many things,
who develop resources, set industrial
enterprises on foot and employ capital
for the wage-carning population. The
stranger cannot be won by indifferent
hotels, shabby streets, bad water, poor
schools and startling evidences Of

Honolulu is fairly well up to some
OF the specifications, as drawn up b,
our big contemporary over til water,
but fearfully deficient in those matters
that are the very first to attract the at
tention of visitor, tourist, or sojourne
looking for comfortable place to set
tie down. The rough and rugged
sidewalks, the supremely dirty street
and the dense clouds of sweepings from
them that fill the air, blind the eye
and ~permeate the dwellings, produc

ND More Foreed Labor in ngypt.

A Cairo correspondent Of the Lon,
don Times says: Every traveller in
Egypt has seen how whole villages
used to be taken from their homes and
forced to clear canals for the Govern
ment or their richer neighbors without
q plaster of payment, while their own
fields remained untitled or their crops
rotted on the land. This cruel system
is now almost abolished. In 1889
the admitted average Of men so en-
ployed by Government was aga, 900
during 100 days In 1886 there was
only Ioz,ooo similarly taken, and in
1887 Nubar Pasha, who has carried
out this grand reform, hopes there will
be no forced labor left in Egypt
Every man will be paid for his labor.

BRITISH FEDERATION.
Notable Imperial and Colonial Opinion
A Peace Promotive Scheme.

The Colonial Conference was opened
at the Foreign Office, London, on
April 4th.
Lord Salisbury welcomed the dele
gates, who, he said, we're engaged in
the work Of organizing a great move
ment toward imperial federation. The
question Of an actual federation was
one, perhaps, more for future discus,
sion than for the present, the most i'm
portant question pressing upon the at
tention ofthe whole empire being, in
his opinion, the common interest the
colonies had with the mother country
in imperial defense. The Premier,
continuing, said he was opposed to the
ambitious scheme Of making consti-
tuition for the whole empire. In OPP
posing this, however, he did not wish
to be understood as casting any slur
upon the aspirations for an imperial
federation, although he thought the
scheme was of a hazy and doubtful
character Still, il contained materials
out Of which practical results might be
obtained.
1t should be borne in mind, however,
that England was unable to emulate
Germany in her manner Of conducting
imperial affahs. The English Govern
ment must be satisfied to allow each
portion Of the empire to conduct its
own affairs in its own locality. Two
forms Of union existed--one military,
the other customs union. He did
not think customs union among all
parts Of the British empire impossible.
A union for imperial defense was Of
common interest. An impression pre-
vailed that the question of defense was
entirely an imperial matter, because
colonial dangers might result from i'm
lperial policy. The speaker admitted
that the extension Of the empire might
Require that portions Of it might incur
danger. England's policy was, how
ever, essentially pacific, but the danger
OF war arising from the policy Of some
other country should induce the colon
lists - make their defenses efficient.
Distant parts Of the empire were within
the sphere Of possible aggression.
| Sir Henry Holland, the Colonial
Secretary, also addressed the Confer
ence He traced the history OF the
movement to organize the military and
naval defenses Of England and her
COLONIES, and stated that the existing
cable companies we're opposed to con-
meeting Canada with Australia by tele-
graph.
| Lord Granville expressed sympathy
with the objects Of the Conference, and
said he wished godspeed to its work.
The different delegates then adj
dressed the meeting in behalf OF their
respective Governments. Hon. Alfred
4 Deakin, Chief Secretary Of Victoria,
said his colony favored spirited colo
NAL policy. The people Of victoria
we're saddened at the difference be
tween the tone Of the dispatches SEN
by England concerning the New He
) brides and New Guinea disputes anc
that Of the dispatches sent by Germany
and France respecting the same issues
Right Hon. Edward Stanhope, Secre
tary Of War, said he would give heart
! felt cooperation towards the objects o
$ the Conference. The scheme of mutua
, defense would minimize, if it did no
remove, the possibility of war.
